We have an exciting schedule for the March Flower Show. One its unique features is that all of the Horticulture entries are in containers and three of the classes are for forced bulbs. Forcing bulbs was the rage in the 1800’s, but along the way many of us have forgotten this wonderful method for bring making bulbs bloom on your schedule. This is an excellent opportunity to teach your club members the technique. Attached is a flyer from the University of Missouri Extension Service with step-by-step instructions including recommended cultivars.
The Flower Show features three classes – get the word out to your club members so they can order their bulbs now.
Forced bulbs in a pot not to exceed 8” across the widest inside diameter.
Class 7 Hippeastrum (Amaryllis) - one single-nosedbulb
Class 8 Narcissus (Daffodil) - 3 ormorebulbs of the same cultivar
Class 9 Tulipa (Tulip) - 3 or morebulbs of the same cultivar
Thanks is advance for your support of our Flower Show.
